Quest to Understand

These tools and practices reflect humanity's enduring quest to understand and connect with the universe, blending observation, ritual, and belief.

People admire our vast and beautiful universe; nature loves people and creatures of all sorts. Throughout history, people have used various tools and practices to communicate with the universe, often seeking to understand celestial phenomena.


Astronomy and Astrology: Early humans observed the stars and planets, noting their fixed patterns and movements. This led to the development of stories and myths to remember these patterns, which were crucial for navigation and agriculture. The movement of celestial bodies, particularly the Sun and Moon, was believed to influence earthly events, giving rise to astrology. Ancient Babylonians devised the seven-day week based on these celestial bodies.


Rituals and Instruments: Sound and light have played significant roles in religious rituals, serving as tools to connect with the universe. Instruments like drums, gongs, and bells are used to attract attention. These instruments are often considered sacred and are integral to worship practices in various cultures. 


Divination: Divination is a practice found in many ancient civilizations, used to uncover hidden meanings or predict future events. Techniques include astrology, crystal gazing, and tarot cards. In many cultures, it served broader purposes such as understanding the influence of the universal consciousness.


If we are truly connected to the world around us - our surroundings, matters of the heart, spirituality, our interactions with others, science with soft touches allows us to see further, deeper, and cross-disciplinarily for making meaningful movement. These tools and practices reflect humanity's enduring quest to understand and connect with the universe, blending observation, ritual, and belief.
